The Fishing Outfit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCAAD EAEAFDFAAD GAGAADAAAD| You may talk of stylish raiment | A |
| You may boast your broadcloth fine | B |
| And the price you gave in payment | A |
| May be treble that of mine | B |
| But there's one suit I'd not trade you | C |
| Though it's shabby and it's thin | D |
| For the garb your tailor made you | C |
| That's the tattered | A |
| Mud bespattered | A |
| Suit that I go fishing in | D |
| - | |
| There's no king in silks and laces | E |
| And with jewels on his breast | A |
| With whom I would alter places | E |
| There's no man so richly dressed | A |
| Or so like a fashion panel | F |
| That his luxuries to win | D |
| I would swap my shirt of flannel | F |
| And the rusty | A |
| Frayed and dusty | A |
| Suit that I go fishing in | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis an outfit meant for pleasure | G |
| It is freedom's raiment too | A |
| It's a garb that I shall treasure | G |
| Till my time of life is through | A |
| Though perhaps it looks the saddest | A |
| Of all robes for mortal skin | D |
| I am proudest and I'm gladdest | A |
| In that easy | A |
| Old and greasy | A |
| Suit that I go fishing in | D |
